A preacher argues you can't achieve big dreams with a small mindset. He uses the image of an eagle versus a chicken: if you accept God's purpose and lift yourself up, you can't stay around people who pull you down without losing your wings.
Chapters
You cannot fit a 16 by 20 dream vision in a 3 by 5 mind. You're trying to force somebody with a 3 by 5 mind to see what you see. They're never gonna see it. Okay, they're never gonna see it. Glory to the name of God. Their capacity of their mind has not expanded. You need to deal with some people who live from the level of a set. Now watch what happens. He says, you see what I did to the Egyptians and how I bear you on eagle's wings and brought you unto myself. This is so good. So you see what I did to Egyptians. I lifted you up on eagle's wings. Okay. And I brought you to myself. So we've dealt with the part of dealing with the Egyptians. So when I, when I'm in an ego mentality, operating in purpose, running after God's dominion plan for my life, he now will bear me up with wings. He'll— in other words, he'll give me wings of an eagle so I can soar. Okay, have you received really your wings? Have you accepted that you are an eagle? Again, because when you accept that, you start eliminating things that can't fly with you. Watch this, you cannot hang out with chickens when you are an eagle. I've been saying this for 28 years, 30 years. You can't do it, right? Glory to God. You cannot run with chickens and you'll eat it. Why? Because to hang with a chicken, you're soaring, the chicken's down here. To hang with the chicken, you got to do this, you got to descend. To hang with the chicken, you got to descend. That's not the plan of God. You need to stay in flight. You need to ride life and not come down to entertain chickens. The only reason you you come to a chicken is to grab him up and pull him up.
